I read the book when it first came out. It is a gripping novel.

I haven't seen the mpvie.

I might add that the British maintained prison ships in NYC harbor during the Revolutionary War. The conditions were as bad as Andersonville. Washington wrote a formal letter of complaint to Howe to rectify the situation lest he (Washington) be moved to treat English prisoners with equal severity.
